Souvenance

‘I think the poet is the last person who is still speaking the truth when no one else dares to. I think the poet is the first person to begin the shaping and visioning of the new forms and the new consciousness when no one else has begun to sense it; I think these are two of the most essential human functions’

The overall winner will receive a cash prize of up to £2000, a personal iBook and the possibility of a future solo show at New Art Exchange.Voting on the Artfinder site lasts between 4th June and 5th July. Artfinder members can register their vote by clicking the heart icon in the top right corner of each work to add to your Artfinder collection.
